The Land Rover Defender is renowned for its legendary off-road prowess, alongside its longtime archrival the Toyota Land Cruiser. With a history going all the way back to 1948, this vehicle emerged as the Land Rover Series I, becoming the Series II in 1967 and the Series III in 1983 before the Defender nameplate took over. The vehicles have been updated throughout the years, but retained their tough, rough and tumble purpose. By the time it took the Defender nameplate, it was available in a range of body styles and three wheelbases, namely 90, 110 and 130 inches (the 130 was actually 127). This is a 1985 Land Rover Defender 110 from Missouri with 40,200 miles on the odometer. With plenty of capability and kit, it’s an ideal vehicle for a trip into the wilderness for a brief sojourn away from it all.
Throughout its production, the Series and Defender differed little in terms of styling. Place a 1948 Series 1 and a 1998 Defender side-by-side and it’s not hard to see the lineage. Whilst head and tail lamps have been changed and some modern touches added, the basic shape remains. This 1985 Land Rover Defender 110 proudly shows off its family resemblance with its black paintjob with some modern touches such as the silver front grille and hood, and halo LED headlamps. It rolls on a set of five-spoke silver alloy wheels and features full tinted back glass on the rear section. An LED light bar and roof rack complete the off-road friendly accessory set. Entering the vehicle, you are greeted with some modern touches on the black interior as well, including heated and powered front seats, heated rear seats, rear entertainment, alcantara headliner, custom wood floor and a Kenwood head unit with back-up camera.
This 1985 Land Rover Defender is powered by a modern engine, the 2.4L (146ci) Ford Duratorq turbodiesel that puts out 122hp and 265lb.ft to all four wheels via a six-speed manual transmission and transfer case with high and low ranges. Differentials can be locked as well, if required when traversing rough terrain. It’s reported to have a galvanized frame for added peace of mind.
The Land Rover Defender has always been a bit of a forbidden fruit kind of car for U.S. consumers. Despite a handful of North American-spec Defenders being offered, by and large, the classic Defender was unobtanium in the States. But that doesn’t mean you can’t sample this classic off-roading icon today. Thanks to imports opening up, you can now get your hands on European-sourced examples of the classic Defender in various flavors. Take our featured car, for example, which was imported from the Netherlands. It features a classic 3.5-liter Rover V8, an automatic transmission, and a few modern features to improve driveability.
The Land Rover Defender can trace its origins way back to the Series I of 1948. When the war was over, Rover created the Series I as a plucky and capable off-roader for the public, inspired by the Willys Jeep. The Series I became the Series II, then the Series III (and there were some derivatives of each), until it gained the name Defender in late 1990. Park a Defender next to a Series I, and you'll see just how similar the vehicles are. Despite that, Land Rover made hundreds of updates to the vehicle during its long production run. If you've always had your eye on one of these iconic and vastly capable vehicles, this 1995 Land Rover Defender 110 is up for sale with us right now. Reportedly a 1996 model year machine, it's got just 70,000 miles on the odometer and some tasteful upgrades to make it more livable as a daily runner - if you choose.
